Southern Collard & Mustard Greens

Here’s a southern favorite that is a good side dish on any given night but, especially at your holiday table.  I don’t know about y’all but I can sit and eat a pot of greens by myself (and I ain’t SHAMEDT).  These are probably a little different from what your granny makes but I can guarantee you that this is a recipe she will be proud of and it’s probably better than hers (even if she won’t admit it lol).  The addition of ginger and cloves really add depths of flavor to your pot of greens.  I normally use a little sugar but, this time I decided to try honey and it worked just as well if not better.  When you give this recipe or any of my recipes a try this season let me know by using my hashtag #trapmarthastewart on Instagram so I can see and repost some of your creations.  Until next time my babies *kisses*

Recipe Notes

If you are using water in stock I would advise adding more seasoning so that your greens will be flavorful.

Other meats good in greens: salt pork, smoked turkey necks, or neck bones.

Any stock of your choice will work well with this recipe….except seafood stock lol

P.S. I always enjoy my greens with jalapeño peppers, pickled or fresh.  If you haven’t given this a try you’re missing out!
